Tesla’s strategic bet on Bitcoin has hit a major milestone, with its holdings once again exceeding $1 billion, Arkham Intelligence reports. This valuation spike aligns with a resurgent crypto bull market, placing Tesla among other high-profile investors witnessing Bitcoin’s historic surge.
Tesla's Strategic Bitcoin Investment Sees Renewed Gains
Elon Musk's electric vehicle business, Tesla, is still taking advantage of its wager on Bitcoin (BTC) even though it was made around three years ago.
According to data insights from Arkham Intelligence, the company's Bitcoin stash has recaptured the $1 billion valuation milestone, which is not surprising. The firm's recent sell-offs are being partially offset by this portfolio growth.
Tesla's Bitcoin Holdings Rebound Amid Market Surge
According to information gathered by Arkham Intelligence, Tesla is still holding 11,509 Bitcoin on the Coinbase Prime platform. For $87,206, you can get this holding, which is worth precisely $1,003,680,252.55. The portfolio has returned to unrealized profit after a few days of growth, reaching $96.77 million.
When Tesla purchased $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin in the first quarter of 2021, it entered the Bitcoin market. A handful more sales in the years that followed brought the portfolio's value down below $1 billion. The company has not liquidated its remaining Bitcoin holdings, as Elon Musk has verified.
Bitcoin's Rising Value Fuels Institutional FOMO
The company is currently benefiting from the continuing bull market boom. Therefore, it was a wise decision. Bitcoin hit many all-time highs in the last 24 hours, and as of this writing, it was trading at $88,902.18, an increase of 9.56%, U.Today shares.
Institutional investors can more easily experience FOMO thanks to Bitcoin's performance. Notably, MicroStrategy increased its total Bitcoin holdings by 27,200 BTC units during the present market rise.
Will Tesla Increase Its Bitcoin Exposure?
More and more large financial institutions are increasing their Bitcoin purchases recently. Whether Tesla will take more action to increase its cryptocurrency holdings is an open question in light of this development. More and more people are getting exposure to the spot Bitcoin market through spot Bitcoin ETF products instead of buying BTC straight from the market.
Some such companies that have exposure to Bitcoin include BNP Paribas and Susquehanna Investment Group (SIG).
